I have never understood all the restrictions on the airplanes by the SPA, CPA, BPA, or
whatever. The emphasis should be on the maneuvers and style of flying like the old days.
For those of us who actually flew pattern back then we should remember the only restriction
was engine size. That automatically limited the airplanes size and weight. When you showed up
at a pattern contest back then it was fly what you brung ! The rule books from back then are
available, I don't understand why they weren't used to restart classic pattern.
